From Hahnemühle Watercolor Paper to Procreate Mandala #hahnemühle #hahnemuhleharmony #procreateart

 Still having fun with this Procreate app on my iPad. 

So, so much to learn!

I made this last night while listening to TV.

Let me walk you through what I did. 

 Earlier in the month, I did a product review for the

Hahnemühle Harmony Hot Pressed Watercolour Paper. 

You can read the review here.

For this project in Procreate,

I imported one of the backgrounds I made for that

review - using the Hahnemühle Harmony paper. 

I put the settings on symmetry and clicked the radial option.

The cool thing about radial symmetry is this -

whatever you draw in one section of the radial grid

automatically appears in all the other sections. 

I started in the center by drawing one loop.

The program replicates that one loop into eight.

I just kept adding lines.

 I am so in awe of what the program does that I have

trouble remembering what tangles I know. 

Hahahahahaha!

I figure loops, auras and copadas are always

a good way to go. 

And a mix of straight and curves.

You know . . . for balance.

And I could tell it needed contrast so I filled

some areas in with black.

And just kept building till I felt like it was complete.

Then I moved on to shading.

Still trying to figure this part out on the iPad - 

I used the airbrush.

I could also do this in color so maybe

next time I will try shading with a 'color'

instead of grey.

Overall I love how it turned out and I am

ready to give it another go!
